Leave a Review Dot
not there yet….
As much as I’d like to like this app, the concept is great but it lacks crucial features like a voice and the ability to grab your attention with notification with sound. for my use case these are very important, especially the notification part because it’s needed if I want to use Dot as a adhd coach/assistant. Until this is added I don’t think I will pay for a subscription.Show lesstrancemuter
Really cool
Very positive conversational AI and I see a lot of potential.
A few bugs/limitations:
It claimed to have booked a massage but I realized it didn’t after calling them.
I want it to be able to send emails or do actions for me.
I want to link it to my work calendar as well as now it’s only pulling from my personal.
Permissions across the board should be allowed to opt out (right now only opt in for every one).Show lessprincetongirl445
Hmm
Not really anything like as was advertised on the previous versions of the website. It’s a chatbot. It asks a lot of questions. Eh.InvaderJ
Empty Advice, Forgetful, Inaccurate
This just feels like a custom GPT that has been asked to be a good friend and therapist. I only used it for two days and it’s already getting facts wrong. Like I haven’t told it much, and it’s already retrieving that small amount of information improperly. And the UI is very slow. Frame rate seems to be well below 30fps just for streaming text / scrolling. This thing is supposed to be some sort of companion over the long term… I just don’t see how it can be if the first couple days were so underwhelming. 🤷
Update: decided to continue using to see how it played out and the same has continued. It’s forgotten basic facts about major personal events. Seems to struggle with context window like all non-Gemini models.
Side note for the devs: although I did pay for premium, mitm lets anyone bypass message limit 🤷 subscription_status: “ACTIVE” in account endpoint is all that’s needed from my testingShow lessGiminoshi
UX is beautiful, app is shallow
2 stars just for the gorgeously designed app.
But the ai assistant is not very good. In order for something like this to work you need to solve one of the biggest issues with AI assistants which is hallucinations and just making up information and stating it confidently. Dot will regularly get stuff wrong that I told it recently, I’ve asked for responses to be formatted a certain way, for specific information to be sent every morning.
But it regularly forgets things I’ve asked it to do, forgets things I’ve told it about myself, and it seems like the “chronicles” don’t actually get referenced when looking for answers.
And on top of all of that the response times are pretty slow. Like I’ll type in a question and then put my phone down and do something else for a minute or two then follow up.
So all in all it’s a meh for me, definitely not worth the price with the glaring issues it has. I would maybe pay $3/month but not any more than that. And it seems like the apps entire functionality will be replaced by iOS 18 Siri update for free-so likely won’t be a option much longer.Show lessGaybees
The app is great!
The app is great! For me is just missing a voice mode for when you want to be hands free ✌️.AI tuner
Disappointed
I was expecting this app for months. Tbh, I’m disappointed. But it is a nicely designed app. The colors and those animations are greatTony Peng11
dot is interesting.
already this app has been useful, i’ve tried throwing it a curveball and throwing (very broken) lojban at it and it seems to adapt pretty well. i’m excited to see where this app goes in the future 😄jinxedjuno
PG rated “friend”
Hard to take it seriously when it refuses to engage in anything that’s not kid friendlySlugiscool
